The Global Egyptian Museum

These two similar pieces of wood could have been the support of a now lost piece of furniture, possibly a chest.
Their contours bare a resemblance to a stylised (lion's ?) leg placed on a small base, thus separating the object from the ground. At mid-height and in the upper section (thinned by half to allow the embedding of the part), two mortises indicate the presence of tenons (of which one of the parts preserved a fragment) which consolidated the unit.

Ces deux pièces similaires de bois devaient constituer le support d'un objet mobilier disparu, comme un coffret. Leur contour reproduit l'image stylisée d'une patte (de lion?) posée sur un petit support l'isolant de la surface sur laquelle l'objet se tenait. &Agrave; mi-hauteur et dans la partie supérieure (désépaissie de moitié pour permettre l'encastrement de la pièce), deux mortaises indiquent la présence de tenons (dont l'une des pièces a conservé un fragment) qui consolidaient l'ensemble.
